Altar Breads increase in prices from 1st April 2024
Dear Customers
We regret an increase in the price of our altar breads.
In the past two years expenses on flour, utilities and other various items have been going up. To maintain the quality of both production and services, we reluctantly made this necessary decision.
As you know since the Churches re-opened after the lockdowns due to covid pandemic approx. one third of the congregation have not returned. This has also impacted on our altar bread sales which we rely on as it is the main source of income from the work of our hands.
Over the last decade there has been a steady decline in the number of communities who bake or retail altar breads in the UK mostly due to the fragility of the community and the instability of the altar bread market. We also face the same pressures, and we truly value your support as friends and customers.
Please be assured our prayers for your Parishes and Communities.
Sincerely, thank you
All the Sisters at Holy Cross Abbey
